Placing raw experiences at the center of all his music, the 27 year old artist brings a fresh perspective to current RnB and Pop trends. Familiar themes of love, hope, mistakes, and redemption are all given new life and LaDuke sings about them through the lens and understanding of a fallen world.

Between his ever evolving fashion to his genre abilities, change is ever present in the back pocket of LaDuke. From beautiful falsettos to a dark RnB base, the Pittsburgh native has shown there isn’t much he can't do.

“I like to mix melodic instrumentation with tough textures in order to create an atmosphere of beautiful juxtaposition. My goal with every work of art is to create an emotional experience through lyrics, melody, and production that synonymously conveys what I’m feeling. I strive to share the deepest and darkest parts of my heart, mind, and life so that I may help someone."

Variety, adaptation, and faith are the cornerstones of Nashville pop artist Caleb LaDuke’s life.

Although this band most often performs for wedding receptions, my nephew & I hired them for a joint 60th & 40th birthday party with approximately 300 guests in March 2020. From the beginning, Mike was incredibly easy with which to work & also worked with us as far as certain song requests we had for that night. The entire band was phenomenal & played a great variety of music! They did a fine job of keeping everyone engaged & on the dance floor! We received several compliments about the band over the course of the evening & even after the party. I would highly recommend them for your upcoming event!

Taylor Austin Dye is an up and coming country singer/songwriter based in Nashville, originally from Eastern Kentucky. Her original music puts a new spin to country and brings a rowdy rocking vibe to her country roots. Taylor started singing live at a young age which has given her over a decade of experience performing on stages across the country. Taylor's southern roots give her the attitude she needs to hang with the guys but her softer side shows in her new single "Good Time Girl". This song tells a story about a situation a lot of females have been in. It goes through the feelings of not wanting to be that girl who only gets called for a night out, while another girl gets the relationship. With over 1 millions spins on TikTok from a small clip, Taylor decided to release the full version of “Good Time Girl” (produced and co-written by Chad Warrix) as her follow up to “Salt”.

We will be booking them not just because they sound great but also because they have been totally professional and supportive of our venue with promoting their showcase and attending the jam.
I have been playing music in Las Vegas for about 25 years now and it has always amazed me with how few band that know how to work with venues for mutual success. If you are one in one of the bands on our current schedule watch and listen to these guys on and off the stage because if you aren't they will soon be taking your gig away at our place and likely others after they play at SNS because we have some how become a venue that others hire bands from..
